I'm not quite sure how it fits in, but I was struck by this tension within the lyrics which I think is quite wonderful:
The narrator falls into the well searching for "that silver shine," searching for light, and becomes trapped thereby, unable to leave. The "funny side," is that "resurrected," given a chance to seek the light at its apparent source in the lighthouse, he would find himself equally trapped-- "If you leave them ships are going to wreck." Those that tend the lighthouse, the very essence of light, and those that have fallen into the shadows seeking its reflection find themselves ultimately equally bound...
